Bin is correct - home ownership involves lots of maintenance and all that jazz. i'm not into it.
i have been to Home Depot like 4x in my whole life. i love that. i don't want to spend every weekend in some home improvement store. i have no interest in gardening. painting. plumbing. i grew up doing all that work w/my parents. i have some exposure. i'm not about that life. thankfully i grew up in houses w/responsible parents who are great home owners and they showed me how to do it right.
i don't want to do it. i see how they live and they love it so i love it for them. it ain't for me.
